The
Knights Table
Monthly Newsletter December
2012
Greetings from your President Will
Greetings Knights, normally I would wait until the end of
the month to write the newsletter, but since we may all be Zombies by then…
(Please imagine “This
is the End” by the Doors playing while you read this) or play the link wait 53 seconds and begin reading.
As we quickly approach the end of the world and are busily
preparing for the Zombie apocalypse, I wanted to share some final thoughts. Let
me first say what a pleasure it has been sharing our soon to be defunct planet
with all of you. I have been privileged to have seen many spectacles in my
life. For instance inventions like hair dryers to instant oatmeal, what a
remarkable society we have created. Our
culture has embraced art in a loving and meticulous way that cannot be
compared. We worship our ultimate talents like Mickey Mouse, Duck Dynasty and Lady
Gaga. I’ll miss it all.
Now for, as to how we should handle the whole Zombie thing, no
problem. First make sure you start to hang out with people who run or ride slower than
you do!! Very important tip! Also, buying the red tip Zombie bullets at the gun
show (yes they really do sell them) is a waste of money. Good old fashion shot
guns seems to work the best. Please aim for the brain! By the way
if by some chance I do become a Zombie, I hope you won’t condemn me or feel ill will towards me if I happen
to eat your brains. Really it’s nothing personal; it’s just kind of a walking
dead/Zombie thing.
For all of you who have been stocking up on canned food and
other essentials, I have a question. Why?
If the world is going to explode and we are all going to be floating in
space (my daughter’s class’s theory) I don’t think some extra cans of baked
Beans or Spam is going to be the answer. I’m just saying! Also, is it me or does it appear as if the
cosmos have a sick sense of irony that the world will end a few days before I
get to open my Christmas presents. What is even worse is that I think I’m
finally getting that part for my motorcycle I’ve really wanted! Maybe I’ll open
them early; it’s as good an excuse as any. My fellow doomed comrades we should
be rejoicing; after all we humans have had a pretty good run. We’ve been here
for thousands of years; of course we will probably be outlived by cockroaches, but
still not too shabby. Lastly, if by some
chance we do not all explode, get eaten by Zombies, face a nuclear Holocaust,
the collapse of the electrical grid, or find ourselves floating in space, I
would like all the money back that I’ve been giving away. No really….hey, I’m not kidding!!

Now back to our regularly scheduled newsletter.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. It
started out with us doing charity work, when we participated in Bills Toys for
Tots. The Palm Beach Knights will be participating it other charity events. I
hope you find the time to join us. I wish all of you very happy holiday and a
very safe and healthy new year.
Of
Note:
Don't forget that any
member can make a suggestion about a ride or an event. We are always looking
for more new places to ride to. So if you know of a place or an event, make
sure to suggest it on our website.
While we try to mix
up our rides as much as possible, it's highly unlikely that I'm going to please
everyone all the time. I hope everyone has been enjoying the rides that I have
been on our schedule so far. I am always looking for feedback and new ideas.
Your participation is what makes this club great.
In Addition:
As of January 1st
the dues will increase slightly to $15 a year, and shirts will be short sleeve $22
long sleeve $31. The funds offset the cost of the site and hopefully will
enable us to have a yearly party.
Any member may bring a guest on a ride, as long as they tell
the organizers before that date. A person may ride with us 2 times as a guest,
and then they will need to join. We are doing this because we believe in the
long run this will make us a closer more cohesive club that will hopefully
establish lifelong friends. Remember we
are always interested in your ideas. This is your club.
Please remember that as “Knights” we need to do the
following:
Fill out the new
members form. (see Will)
- Pay your support dues.
( you can also order a club shirt)
- Participate in an event at least every 90 days.(there are exceptions)
We
have been having some really awesome rides:
Well it was a real
privilege to participate in Bill’s Toy Run. The day started out with a nice
breakfast where we saw a lot of old friends, and even got a few new members
(welcome Khris and Pam). While there was a lot of waiting around, we got to see
a lot of other bikes, and see a lot of other people. I'd like to thank everyone
who participated in this event as the Knights will always try and help out our
community.
The next ride was
really very special. We had a lot of participation on the ride to shark Valley
in the Everglades. The weather couldn't have been better, and the riding
couldn't have been smoother. Thank you to Mark Ride Bell and Mark Kruzen for
helping out as tail gunner. While it was a long day, it was well worth it.
Other than some construction delays, the ride went very smoothly. I want to
give a lot of credit to Stephen as this was his first long ride. If any of you
have sat on his bike you will know what a challenge that was. I think he now
believes us when we say "it's time to get a windshield". Sorry if I
sounded like I was giving a lecture on the Everglades, but being a teacher I
can't help it. By the way if you could not make the ride and you get the
chance, make sure you take a look at the pictures from the ride.
